Lost count of the number of times I have heard "It's only the switch, shouldn't take a minute to fix it" - easy enough to short out to test first.

What size is the armoured cable? Surely 3m of 2.5 wouldn't cause problems.

We have a rule that the gates are not to be operated unless we can eyeball them.
